Tom Brady's risky cliff dive with his daughter gave The Rock ‘anxiety'

Share

Tom Brady and cliffs are back in the news again.

The New England Patriots quarterback, enjoying the last few days of vacation before training camp begins this week, posted an Instagram video Friday of he and his daughter, Vivian, jumping off a cliff into a swimming hole.

Because he's Tom Brady, the video quickly went viral ... and a few people weren't happy with the veteran QB for putting his daughter in harm's way.

Actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, for example, expressed some mild concern in an Instagram comment on Brady's post:

"You KNOW I have complete faith in you as a man, friend, player and father - but this just gave me anxiety. Geeezus  "

Professional surfer Kelly Slater also asked "That shoulder ok?" on Instagram, apparently referencing Brady pulling her daughter off the cliff and their somewhat awkward landing on the water.

Other internet arbiters of justice were a bit more aggressive in their criticism of Brady.

Vivian did appear to hesitate before they jumped together, and it wasn't exactly the most graceful dive. But father and daughter were unharmed, and Patriots running back Brandon Bolden was among those who saw nothing wrong with a little family adventure.

"She can do whatever she wants how she wants," Bolden replied in the comment section.

Patriots training camp starts Thursday at Gillette Stadium, where Brady will return for his 20th NFL season, Instagram controversies be darned.
